MONIK
Born 23 years ago, and with a short trajectory, but breaking the mold, DJ Monik is forever polishing her skills to become the best female DJ in Latin America. Her base influence in getting involved in music from her childhood was her father, who was a musician. Later, that same vocation what was drove Monik to percussion and guitar. When she was 17, she went for her first time to a "RAVE" party where the headliners were Jimmy Van M and DJ Sasha. The latter was her favorite and years after became her inspiration. During that same year, she starts working in one of the most important radio stations in Costa Rica, 979 Conexion, where the first electronic music show in the country was broadcasted. Later, she ended up taking over the whole show. In 2003 she received her first set of DJ equipment that saw this DJ grow with a genre called progressive trance, very much like Oakenfold and Alexander Coes style. Moniks metamorphosis took several years, changing styles, and sounds. She has also worked with production. Her genre was drum n bass, with the percussion she always carried in her blood. In 2004 she continues with electronic music and she is given the opportunity to warm up the dance floor for 2 local DJs at a club called Caf 83 Sur. In November of that same year, she becomes a resident DJ for the first time at a Lounge called "Bajarse al Moro". In 2005 she has no option but to put aside the electronic sounds she so loved to pursue an academic career, but a year later she returns with lots of energy and dedication, and with a different sound. This time around she comes with a melodic-progressive style (progressive house) with influences from DJs like Tarkan, V-Sag, G-Pal and more. Also, she works in tandem with D.U.B which is shorthand for Deep Underground Beats. Not satisfied with only being a DJ, she starts a new project on the radio, this time through an internet station in Argentina: DLA Dancelatinomaerica the most important Internet Radio station in Latin America, where shell be hosting a show called "Audio Track" every Friday. For this year, Monik plans to release her first original track with her own touch in it: her vocals. Listed here, are some of the places where Monik has played and touched our soul: Vertigo, Vertigo Lounge, Club 360, Bajarse al Moro, Bondi Le finestre, Boggie Bar (Antiguo Bash), Caf 83 sur, Salamandra, Rikaste, and Nova Lounge, The gallery (panam), Khalua Club (Guatemala), Vintage (Guatemala).
